Third POV"Wow! He likes espresso!"Natalia was surprised by the girls' apparent admiration for the coffee. If Adrian ordered poison, they might appreciate it as well.For once, she had the idea to mix the poison into coffee.'He would have died at such a young age. I wish I could do that,' she thought while glancing at him.On the other hand,Adrian was gazing out the window.When he entered the cafe a while ago, he was angry at Natalia. He then sat at a table and stared at her for a long time. All of his anger eased just looking at her.He recalled how he spread rumors on the internet a few days ago. He assumed someone would have done the same with her this time.He believed Natalia could not do that. She could only blackmail him and not give another man any place in her heart.He had already insulted her a lot when he thought Noah and Aria were another man's children. This time, he would not make the same mistake.When she came to take his order herself, he was able to smell her sc
Natalia stood up straight. Her face turned colder as she glared at the man sitting in front of her."I wish I could poison you. I wish I could kill you," she said, gritting her teeth.Adrian fixed his gaze on the hate-filled, flaming eyes. A stab went through his heart. It was a feeling that he could not describe."Alpha, please drink your coffee quickly and leave the coffee shop as soon as possible," she said mockingly before leaving the table.She looked at the waitresses and said,"If you don't focus on your work and keep glancing at that man again, I will fire you all."Natalia, who once ruled the business world, suddenly reflected on herself. No matter how hard she tried, she could not separate her personality from herself.She was once a strong woman who dealt a lot of head alphas. She had no concern about losing anything now. She was only working here to avoid one man. But now that man had come in to irritate her, it had completely ruined her mind.Adrian sipped his espresso an
Natalia's POV"Natalia, where are you?"I caught a glimpse of Adrian, who appeared to be in a gloomy mood. What was the cause of his sudden shift from a calm to a gloomy mood?"I am at the coffee shop. Why? Are you on your way to my home?"Adrian stood up from his chair as soon as he heard me. The chair made a loud noise, startling me. I took a few steps back and looked at Adrian with a frown on my face."What was that sound?" Max asked."A fox broke into the shop," I muttered.I noticed Adrian's fists tightening. I moved my gaze to his face. He looked fierce."Fox? What are you saying?"I laughed and then responded by saying, "I was just kidding. By the way, I was asking you something.""I am here at your house.""What? You are already at my house?""Yeah. I expected you to return home sooner, so I came here directly.""I am coming.""It's okay. Take your time. I am talking with your mom and dad."While he was talking, I could hear my father laughing next to him. I could not help but
Adrian's POV"What did you just say?" I muttered as I walked in her direction.But before I could reach her, he got inside the car."Start the car," she said to the cab driver.However, I grabbed the edge of the window to stop her. The driver noticed it and chose not to start the car.I bent down to look at her."I asked what you just said."She looked ahead, ignoring me completely. Her neglect towards me was killing me. I hated it whenever she ignored me."Who did you choose? Who is that man? Max Harrison?"Natalia turned her head to me as soon as Max's name came out of my mouth.Her face turned cold. Her hatred for me was evident in her eyes.The dim light from the street coming in through the window next to her lit up her face a little.I kept my eyes fixed on her. She used to be a fragile woman when I married her many years ago. I never imagined that the eyes, which used to gaze at me with such tenderness, would become so icy."My man is waiting for me at my house," Natalia said i
I froze when I heard her. I blinked when I realized what she had meant. She was still smiling at me.I slowly moved my hands away from the window and took a step back.She looked away from me and said to the driver,"Let's go."The driver immediately nodded his head and started the cab.My eyes were glued to Natalia the entire time. Her smile was still on her face. But why was it hurting me?The car began to move. After a few minutes, it faded from my sight. I stared at the way the car had left.I lifted my hand and pressed against my chest. My heart was pounding faster.I balled my fist and curled my fingers around my shirt. I hissed when I felt pain in my chest. It was a wound that I never let my wolf heal. It was a wound I got from her. I wanted to see it every day to remind myself how much she hated me.The sound of a ringtone echoed down the lonely road. I had no wish to pick up the call.My legs moved forward as my eyes could not fix at anything. They were roaming here and there
Third POVThe day for Noah and Aria's birthday had finally come. Everyone in the pack house was busy. The pack house was decorated beautifully. At the birthday celebration, people from various packs were invited.Why would they not come?After all, Alpha Adrian sent invitations to them. They were eager to attend the party.In the bedroom, Adrian was checking on a file while sitting on the bed.His fingers were holding the cigarette while turning pages. His gaze was fixed on the papers.He got interrupted at work when he heard a knock on the door."Come in," he replied without looking at the door.The door opened, and his mother's voice reached his ears."Adrian, why are you still working? It's already time. The guests have already started to come to the pack house."He turned his head to the window to glance at the sky. Every light was left out of the sky to conceal its true appearance because it was so dark.Adrian lifted his hand to take a deep puff of the smoke.Grace Miller stared
Grace thought Adrian was talking about Lynda. She reached out her hand and grabbed his hand."I am not comparing her with anyone else. If you like her so much that you can't even hear anything about her, why don't you get back together?"Adrian's eyes were fixed on the sky. His face was calm and indifferent. But his eyes could not hide the emotional turmoil in her heart."I wish I could," he muttered.A smile appeared on Grace's face. She lifted her hand and rubbed his hair. "Don't worry. You will have a lot of chances in the future. Don't miss any of it. Every woman is begging to be with my son anyway. Who will resist you?"Adrian remained silent. Grace patted his shoulder."Get ready fast. Don't you want to see your beautiful kids? They are eager to go to their party."Adrian's eyes moved slightly when he heard about his children. He looked at his mother and gave her a nod.When Grace left the room, Adrian decided to take a shower.After wearing the expensive black suit, Adrian look
Everyone turned around when they saw Alpha Adrian descend the stairs with two children.Their eyes were filled with amazement as they observed them. They had never seen Adrian with children before.Upon closely examining his kids, they discovered they were identical twins. They resembled their father quite a bit.When Adrian came downstairs, he put Aria down and told her to enjoy the party.Noah let go of Adrian's hand when he noticed his old school friends. He raised his head to look at Adrian.Adrian smiled at him and rubbed his hair softly."I invited them for you and Aria."Aria and Noah both ran to join their friends. They looked very happy, which made Adrian feel better in his heart."Alpha Adrian."All of the Alphas from other packs who had traveled to this pack in order to attend the birthday party approached him. They greeted him politely."Your twins are beautiful," one of the Alphas said.Adrian cast a quick glance in the direction of his twin and murmured under his breath,
FOUR YEARS LATER ...Under the leadership of Alpha and Luna, the Crystal Pack had grown into a formidable pack. Everyone used to be afraid of Alpha Adrian, but after his Luna joined him, the fear doubled because they were the power couple in the werewolf world."Luna Natalia,"The maids bowed to the stunning woman as she walked glamorously through the corridors. She gave them nods as she passed them.Other Lunas were envious of her, finding it hard to believe a woman could possess such powerful abilities. She was an Alpha female and not only that, she was giant like her mate.It was as if they were both moon children, destined to be together forever.In the past few years, Natalia has experienced every stage of her life with her husband, and time has passed very slowly with each passing year. Her life had completely changed. Her opinions, her way of thinking, her way of talking, her etiquette, and many other things had changed. However, what did not change was her heart. She cared
After the crown ceremony,Natalia glanced at Grace, considering taking Adelia to the bedroom."Mom, you must be tired from holding her.""No, it's okay. Amanda was there with me all the time."Natalia moved her hand up. “She is asleep. You can—”Adrian came over to her and stopped her. "You can leave her to Mom. I am sure she can handle her. You look worn out anyway."Natalia was stunned. She shot him a look. Adrian shrugged his shoulders and walked up the stairs."Mom, don't listen to him."Grace shook her head and replied, "He is right. You were very busy throughout the day. Take a rest tonight. I will take care of Adelia."Natalia let out a sigh and agreed to her. She glanced at the sleeping baby and went to the bedroom.When she entered the bedroom, she found the whole room was empty.She shut the door and took off her crown. She carefully placed it inside the closet, next to the dagger.As she finished removing all of her jewelry, the bathroom door opened.She turned her head onl
A Few Months Later"I, Adrian Miller, Alpha King, declare Natalia Miller to be the Luna and Queen of my packs."Everyone applauded when Adrian placed the crown on Natalia's head.Natalia gave Adrian a smile. He wore a black robe embroidered with spells designed by the coven of the Black Haw pack. They sent it as a present to embrace their new head Alpha.Natalia lifted her white gown and descended from the stage, clutching Adrian's arm.It reminded her of her wedding day.Hazel and Jason came toward them and hugged each other."Where is John?" Natalia asked about their child.They pointed to Jade, who was holding their child, while Grace stood next to her, holding Natalia and Adrian's child, Adelia.The two women appeared to be the happiest women in the world today."Alpha Adrian, Luna Natalia,"They turned around after hearing a familiar voice.It was Alpha Wade. Beside him was Tyra, Eric's mate. During their conversation, Alpha Wade said,"I am planning to marry Tyra off soon."Nata
Days passed as the delivery date of Natalia's child was coming.Things had changed in Natalia's life in the last few months.Everyone was doting on her. The person who cared for her the most was her husband.Adrian always came home early to spend time with Natalia and his children. He said he wanted to give most of his time to Natalia during her pregnancy period.Natalia had noticed Adrian's growing impatience to see his baby in recent months. His face was always lit up with excitement.She used to have this dream when she was pregnant a few years ago.Adrian never allowed her to do any work. He was always curious about her preferences for food and activities. He even canceled his meetings whenever she felt sick. When she was down, he always surprised her with a gift to lift her spirits.He did not pass up any opportunity to spoil her. In fact, her own family claimed Adrian had spoiled her too much.She felt as if everything was a dream, and she wanted to stay in it forever."Adrian,
Everyone returned to the pack house.Natalia was lying in bed. The private doctor was checking on her."You are lucky the baby is fine," she said."Thank you, doctor. Please check on Hazel too," Natalia said to her.The doctor gave her a nod and then left the room.Natalia looked at the people who entered the room after the doctor left.Martin Hansley and Jade Hansley hugged their daughter. Meanwhile, Lucas Miller and Grace Miller lowered their heads.Natalia smiled at them, saying, "Mom, Dad."They looked at her with apologies."Forgive us, dear," Lucas said as he approached the bed.Grace hugged Natalia and said sorry to her for everything they had done in the past few days."It was not your fault. You all were influenced. I should be sorry for losing my temper and saying those rubbish things."They shook their heads and said they would never have a daughter-in-law like her. She was more like a daughter to them.“How is everyone?”“Doctor Max treated them. Benjamin was in critical c
Natalia was astounded by what she witnessed. Then she realized that the man was old Leighton's twin brother."Natalia"She heard her mother's voice. She turned her and found her and Adrian's parents. She noticed her mother-in-law also looked worried for her.She limped, trying to walk toward them.At that time a witch ran toward her, but a wolf came between and bit the witch's leg, slamming her to the ground.Natalia realized Eric was the one who saved her. She smiled at him. He gave her a nod before sprinting back toward Jason.Today, the three men in her life who once loved her are protecting her.Natalia realized that no matter how powerful you are, there will come a time when everyone needs each other.She went to her mother and hugged her. Her mother-in-law, Grace, shed tears as she also hugged her.Denis Leighton stepped toward Adrian and bowed to him."Alpha"Natalia was stunned to see the old man lowering his head toward Adrian.Adrian released Ansel's neck and took a step bac
Max was standing behind Natalia. He patted Natalia's shoulder and wrapped his arm around her. "Perfect shot."Adrian noticed how securely Max was holding Natalia. His eyes turned pale as he remembered Natalia's words.If she had been with Max, she would have been happy. Getting married to him again ruined her life.Adrian turned around and saw Ansel's arm. It was pierced by a digger rather than a simple knife.He recalled it and realized it was the dagger marked on the back of Natalia's neck. She was a healer who could kill anyone with her dagger, which was filled with her poisonous blood.He did not know about its ability toward the witches or wizards, but she had killed Doctor Harold with that knife. After that, she never touched it again."Thanks, Max," Natalia said to Max.When she called Max yesterday, he asked for help. She asked for the tonics that could help wolves and the dagger, which she used when she needed it. Max arrived at the right time to help her.The fire went out,
Everyone was staring at Adrian, who was mercilessly beating Rick. They could not believe that he had recalled everything.Natalia was surprised as well. Did that mean he remembered everything? Every moment in their lives that they had spent together?"No! No! No! Stop him!"Ansel yelled at her people. They rushed to Adrian, but he growled at them, which caused them to stop in their place, frozen.As the only one who dared to approach Adrian, the old Leighton's eyes turned glowing green.He raised his hand and chanted something, prompting Adrian to stop beating Rick.The old Leighton was giving Adrian mental pain. He grabbed his forehead and groaned angrily.The sound of his groan reverberated throughout the entire forest."Leave him. Don't hurt her," Natalia said to the old man.Jason and Patric told their men to attack the wizards and witches. Because their Alpha was present, they would have to choose between giving their lives or taking the lives of others.Natalia closed her eyes a
Natalia's tears, which she had been holding back until now, fell on her cheeks.Adrian's gaze locked on hers. They were dark but familiar to her. His jaw was clenched as if he were trying not to groan in pain.When his body moved, she came back to reality and gasped."Ad-Adrian! What are you—"Adrian pushed her head back, covering her gaze so she could not look at anything."Sshh"His thumb caressed her cheek while pressing her head against his bare chest as if he did not feel anything.Natalia could feel the heat of the flame whenever the whip touched his back."Don't... Don't hit him!"She exclaimed, crying, but Rick did not stop."Look, who has come to protect his wife? The man who can not shift, who can not protect himself, how can he protect his wife?"Rick's mocking made the witches and wizards laugh. Everyone was aware of Adrian's condition. He had become a puppet of Ansel.Rick continued to whip Adrian's back. As the flaming whip continued to strike him on his back, his skin b
